Spectators: 8078 (Terracing: 6060, Seating: 1858, VIP seats: 160) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Minko Búrnev took the kick off in the first half of the match. Izydor Pilipiec took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valentin Gebrev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Yanaki Dimanov hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. In the 12th minute Yanislav Plachkov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Izydor Pilipiec saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 14 minutes into the match, 2kC Poznań's goal looked a bit too open when Valentin Gebrev came free, but Izydor Pilipiec reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 23rd minute, Milosz Budzyn managed to get in a good position for a shot. 2kC Poznań's supporters rose to their feet, but Milosz Budzyn was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Genko Dankin breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 35th minute Yanislav Plachkov shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Izydor Pilipiec saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 2kC Poznań's Milosz Budzyn got a good chance for a goal in the 36th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. In the 37th minute, Stasio Chlapowski hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Valentin Gebrev scored 0-1 in the 39th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Izydor Pilipiec, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. A collision led to 2kC Poznań getting a freekick after 44 minutes play. Roman Kolbe hit a great ball. After 45 played minutes, SPARROWS's Nacho Zegov shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Izydor Pilipiec came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in SPARROWS reached it. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Lucjan Soroka fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Genko Dankin having to interfere. 2kC Poznań made a substitution. Milosz Podowski replaced Aureliusz Rybak. Genko Dankin came out of the goal in the 62nd minute to try and stop a shot by 2kC Poznań's Milosz Podowski. But to his dismay, Milosz Podowski quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Milosz Budzyn in the 68th minute of play forced SPARROWS's goalkeeper Genko Dankin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Minko Búrnev hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. In the 72ndth minute of the game Minko Búrnev who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but 2kC Poznań's Izydor Pilipiec was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 77th minute, Konstantin Shumarov hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The supporters of SPARROWS booed when 2kC Poznań was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 82 match minutes in a wonderful position. Konstanty Zaworski didn't get a good kick on the ball. 89 minutes into the match, Michal Latocha had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Genko Dankin. SPARROWS's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Michal Latocha was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-1. After a rather tough play, 2kC Poznań's Damian Kolacki got a free kick in the 91st minute. Izydor Pilipiec made a fantastic save in the 93rd minute, when Valentin Gebrev sent off a good shot on target. SPARROWS's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
